Pirmā Mozus 38

1 Un notikās tanī laikā, ka Jūda no saviem brāļiem nogāja un apmetās pie kāda Adulamnieku vīra, Hīras vārdā.

Around this time, Judah left his brothers and set up his tents at Adullam, near to a local man named Hirah.

2 Un Jūda redzēja tur kāda Kanaāniešu vīra meitu, un viņa vārds bija Šua, un viņš to ņēma un gāja pie tās.

There Judah happened to see the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua and married her. He slept with her,

3 Un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Ģeru.

and she became pregnant and had a son he named Er.

4 Un tā tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Onanu.

She became pregnant again and had a son she named Onan.

5 Un tā dzemdēja vēl vienu dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Šelu, un viņš bija Ķezibā, kad tā to dzemdēja.

Then she had another son she named Shelah who was born in Kezib.

6 Un Jūda ņēma sievu priekš Ģera, sava pirmdzimtā, un viņas vārds bija Tamāre.

Much later, Judah arranged for Er, his firstborn son, to marry a woman named Tamar.

7 Bet Ģers, Jūdas pirmdzimtais, bija ļauns Tā Kunga priekšā, tāpēc Tas Kungs to nokāva.

But Er did what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord put him to death.

8 Tad Jūda sacīja Onanam: ej pie sava brāļa sievas un ņem to sava brāļa vietā un cel dzimumu savam brālim.

Judah told Onan, “Go and sleep with your brother's wife to fulfill the requirements of a brother-in-law to have children on behalf of your brother.”

9 Bet Onans zinādams, ka tas dzimums viņam nepiederēs, pie sava brāļa sievas iedams, tam lika izgaist zemē, lai savam brālim nedotu dzimuma.

Onan realized that any children he had wouldn't be his own, so whenever he slept with his brother's wife he made sure she wouldn't become pregnant by withdrawing and spilling his semen on the ground. In this way he prevented any children being born on behalf of his brother.

10 Un Tam Kungam nepatika, ko viņš darīja, un viņš to arīdzan nokāva.

But what he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so he also put Onan to death.

11 Tad Jūda sacīja uz savu vedeklu Tamāri: paliec atraitne sava tēva namā, tiekams Šelus, mans dēls, pieaug; jo viņš domāja: vai viņam arī nebūs jāmirst, kā viņa brāļiem. Un Tamāre nogāja un dzīvoja sava tēva namā.

Then Judah told his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Go to your father's house and live there as a widow until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “Maybe he'll die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went and stayed in her father's house.

12 Kad nu labs laiks bija pagājis, tad Šuas meita, Jūda sieva, nomira; pēc tam Jūda iepriecinājās un gāja pie saviem avju cirpējiem uz Timnu, viņš un Hīra, viņa draugs, tas Adulamnieks.

A long time later Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah had finished the time of mourning, he went to visit his sheepshearers at Timnah with his friend Hirah from Adullam.

13 Un Tamārei tapa vēstīts un sacīts: redzi, tavs tēvocis iet uz Timnu, savas avis cirpt.

Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

14 Tad viņa novilka savas atraitņu drēbes un apsedzās ar vaiga apsegu un aptinās un apsēdās priekš Enaima vārtiem, kas ir uz Timnas ceļa; jo tā bija redzējusi, ka Šelus bija pieaudzis un ka viņa tam nebija dota par sievu.

So she took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, disguising herself. She sat down beside the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. She had realized that even though Shelah had now grown up, nothing had been done about her marrying him.

15 Un Jūda to redzēja un šķita, to esam mauku, tāpēc ka tā savu vaigu bija apsegusi.

Judah saw her and thought she must be a prostitute because she had veiled her face.

16 Un noklīda pie tās ceļmalā un sacīja: nāc jel, laid man pie tevis ieiet; jo viņš nezināja, to savu vedeklu esam. Un tā sacīja: ko tu man dosi, ja tu pie manis ieiesi?

He went over to her at the side of the road and said, “I want to sleep with you.” He didn't know she was his daughter-in-law. “What will you give me if I let you sleep with me?” she asked.

17 Un tas sacīja: es tev sūtīšu vienu āzi no ganāmpulka. Un tā sacīja: tad dod man ķīlas, tiekams tu to sūti.

“I'll send you a young goat from my flock,” he replied. “What guarantee will you give me to make sure you'll send it?” she asked.

18 Tad tas sacīja: kas tās tādas ķīlas, ko man tev būs dot? Un tā atbildēja: tavs aizspiežamais gredzens un tava virkne un tava niedre, kas tavā rokā. Un tas viņai to deva un iegāja pie tās; un tā tapa grūta no viņa.

“What guarantee do I have to give you?” he asked. “Your signet seal and its cord, and your walking stick that you're holding,” she replied. He handed them over to her. He slept with her and she became pregnant.

19 Un tā cēlās un aizgāja un nolika to apsegu un apvilka savas atraitņu drēbes.

She left, went home, took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothes.

20 Un Jūda sūtīja to āzi caur savu draugu, to Adulamnieku, atņemt tās ķīlas no tās sievas rokas; bet tas to neatrada.

Judah sent his friend Hirah from Adullam with a young goat to get back his belongings he'd left as a guarantee from the woman, but he couldn't find her.

21 Tad tas vaicāja tās vietas ļaudis sacīdams: kur ir tā mauka, kas Enaimā uz ceļa sēdējusi? Un tie sacīja: še maukas nav bijis.

Hirah asked the men there, “Where's the cult prostitute that sits by the entrance road to Enaim?” “There's no cult prostitute here,” they answered.

22 Un tas atgriezās pie Jūdas un sacīja: es to neesmu atradis, un tās vietas ļaudis arīdzan saka: še maukas nav bijis.

Hirah went back to Judah and told him, “I couldn't find her, and the men there said, ‘There's no cult prostitute here.’”

23 Tad Jūda sacīja: lai tā to sev patur, ka netopam kaunā; redzi, es šo āzi esmu sūtījis, un tu viņas neesi atradis.

“Let her keep what I gave her,” Judah replied. “We'll look ridiculous to people if we go on searching. In any case I did try to send her the young goat as promised but you couldn't find her.”

24 Un notikās pēc kādiem trim mēnešiem, tad Jūdam tapa vēstīts un sacīts: Tamāre, tava vedekla, maucību dzinusi, un redzi, tā ir arī grūta no maukošanas. Tad Jūda sacīja: izvediet to ārā, ka tā top sadedzināta.

Then about three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has had sex like a prostitute and now as a result she's pregnant!” “Bring her out and burn her to death!” Judah ordered.

25 Kad nu tā tapa izvesta, tad tā sūtīja pie sava tēvoča un sacīja: no tā vīra, kam šās lietas pieder, es esmu grūta; un tā sacīja: vai pazīsti jel, - kam tas aizspiežamais gredzens un šī virkne un šī niedre pieder?

As she was brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, “I'm pregnant by the man who owns these things.” Then she added, “Please look carefully at this signet seal and its cord and walking stick. Who do they belong to?”

26 Un Jūda tās pazina un sacīja: tā sieva ir taisnāka nekā es, tāpēc ka es viņu savam dēlam Šelum neesmu devis. Un viņš to vairs neatzina.

Judah recognized them right away and said, “She has honored the law more than I have, because I didn't give her in marriage to my son Shelah.” He didn't sleep with Tamar again.

27 Un tai dzemdējot, redzi, tai bija dvīņi viņas miesās.

When the time came for Tamar to give birth, she was found to be carrying twins.

28 Un kad tā dzemdēja, tad viens roku izbāza, un bērnu saņēmēja to ņēma un apsēja sarkanu pavedienu ap to roku un sacīja: šis nāks pirmais ārā.

One baby put out his hand, and the midwife tied a scarlet thread around on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.”

29 Un kad tas to roku ievilka, redzi, tad nāca viņa brālis ārā; un tā sacīja: kāpēc tu sev plēsumu esi plēsis? Un tā viņa vārdu nosauca Perec (plēsis).

But then he pulled back his hand and his brother was born, she said, “How did you burst out?” So he was named Perez.

30 Un pēc tam viņa brālis nāca ārā, ap kā roku tas sarkanais pavediens bija, un tā viņa vārdu nosauca Zerus (atspīdums).

Then his brother with the scarlet thread on his wrist was born. He was named Zerah.
